swindled Out of $3.50.

Mr.. Abraham Shriner, farmer living near
Copperville, in Taneytown district, was
swindled out of $3.50 on last Tuesday by n
couple of clever rascals. Suspicion points to
two men who stopped at Hotel Albion on
Saturday and remained until Tuesday evening.
They registered as d. Jones and Thomas
Phugle, Baltimore, though it is impossible to
the last signature is, So badly is it
written 1t looks like Phugle. Jones was at
the Albion on July 10, and on that occasion
registered as D. Randall. These men hired
pair of horses and buggy from James E.
Smith on Tuesday. They returned in the
evening, sent the team to the stable by col
ored servant, and left the same evening.
On Sunday two men met Mr.. Shriner at
Linwood Camp. One represented himself as
a son of Mr.. Hiram Davis, of Union Bridge,
and the other as Mr.. Cornell. They pre-
tended to want to buy farm, and made ar
engagements for Mr.. Shriner to show them
around his neighborhood on Tuesday. They
went to Mr.. Shriners at the appointed time.
During their stay they mentioned college
scheme, and wanted Mr.. Shriner to act as
agent. They made the proposal very tempt
ing, and he agreed to accept. He was then
told that he would have to show 81 200 before
he could be appointed. Mr.. Shriner said he
had no money about the house, but had $3.50
in bank at Taneytown. The sharpers then
said they would advance the necessary $3.50,
and Mr.. Shriner went and drew his money
from the bank. This the swindlers got and
drove off, promising to call again. They
have not called yet.

GIL. Walter, 6ett1 pown in this city and
dyJ 1.-THE Bird Whistler" has been at Atlantic
City for timeIwith his novel swimming ma
chine. He has attracted considerable atten-
Aion, and been giving and taking jokes with
the many guests. As to his swimming ma
chine he Vas always serious, and always con-
fident as 10 its merits. As to one of Rhoddy' $
performances. we quote the following from an
Atlantic City letter in last Sundays Phila-
delpbia Press:
An inventive genius has been hanging
AROUND the bathing houses for some days past
Explaining to the oilers a patent swimming
apparatus that would enable the water tourist
ITO be his own boat in travelling from place to
place. Goaded on by the bantering of all
with whom he came in contact, he yesterday
offered wager that he could tow two miles
out to sea and return a lifeboat containing
from eight to twelve full grown men. The
bet was accepted, and this afternoon he tied
himself in a reclining position on a netting
stretched between two air tight cylinders, and
buekled on his feet two large, curious shoes,
the uppers of which were canvas attached to
wooden soles, and projecting from the latter
were two hinged hanges that spread out when
forced against water by kick of the foot,
similar to that used in swimming, and folding
up again by counter action. With these
novel pedal appliances he propels himself
through the wafer head first. When all was
ready he was lifted into the water, and the
rope from the lifeboat made fastto him. The
boat contained nine large men, who weighed
together over 1900 pounds. and when the
word was given the human tug began kicking
the water in manner that made it boil, and
the lifeboat and It's load moved out to sea with
about the same rapidity boat is usually
rowed. The large waves washed over the in
genious swimmer, and he was every other
moment submerged from view, but his feet
forgot not their cunning, and in less than an
hour the boat and its human propeller had
finished their trip"
